Baylor University has filed a lawsuit against LSU offensive lineman Sean Thompkins, alleging he failed to pay an $85,000 buyout after transferring to the Tigers earlier this year.
According to KWTX, the lawsuit was filed Friday in Texas and claims Thompkins violated the terms of a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreement he signed with Baylor in December 2025.
The agreement was originally set to run through June 2027 but was terminated when Thompkins entered the transfer portal in January.
Baylor claims the two sides reached a settlement on May 13 that established a payment schedule for the buyout. However, the university alleges Thompkins failed to make any payments.
The school sent Thompkins and his attorney a formal demand for payment on September 22 but received no response, according to the lawsuit.
Baylor is seeking $85,000, plus attorney fees, court costs and interest.
Thompkins spent three seasons at Baylor before transferring to LSU. He appeared in 10 games during the 2025 season, starting the final five at left tackle.
The offensive lineman has appeared in all eight games for LSU this season under Lane Kiffin.
